More Information
  • Longan (Dimocarpus longan) is a fruit tree of significant economic value in tropical and subtropical regions. The introduction of potassium chlorate (KClO3) as a flowering inducer has facilitated remarkable advancements in longan cultivation, enabling the year-round supply of fresh fruits. This innovation has substantially increased both the cultivation area and the economic value of the longan, marking a milestone in the industry development. This paper outlined the characteristics and current research advancement regarding both natural and KClO3-induced flowering in longan, while addressing the challenges associated with KClO3-induced flowering in this species. We encompassed recent findings at morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular biological levels. Additionally, we summarized the absorption and transport pathways of chlorate and nitrate in longan and other plants, as well as the effects of oxidative stress on floral transition. Furthermore, we explored potential future research directions, including elucidating the mechanism of KClO3-induced flowering in longan through multi-omics analysis and investigating the application of nanomaterials to enhance artificial flowering induction in longan and other species. We aim to provide insights for further in-depth research into the mechanism of KClO3-induced flowering in longan, thereby contributing to the frame of knowledge and potential applications in horticulture.

Abstract: Longan (Dimocarpus longan) is a fruit tree of significant economic value in tropical and subtropical regions. The introduction of potassium chlorate (KClO3) as a flowering inducer has facilitated remarkable advancements in longan cultivation, enabling the year-round supply of fresh fruits. This innovation has substantially increased both the cultivation area and the economic value of the longan, marking a milestone in the industry development. This paper outlined the characteristics and current research advancement regarding both natural and KClO3-induced flowering in longan, while addressing the challenges associated with KClO3-induced flowering in this species. We encompassed recent findings at morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular biological levels. Additionally, we summarized the absorption and transport pathways of chlorate and nitrate in longan and other plants, as well as the effects of oxidative stress on floral transition. Furthermore, we explored potential future research directions, including elucidating the mechanism of KClO3-induced flowering in longan through multi-omics analysis and investigating the application of nanomaterials to enhance artificial flowering induction in longan and other species. We aim to provide insights for further in-depth research into the mechanism of KClO3-induced flowering in longan, thereby contributing to the frame of knowledge and potential applications in horticulture.
